The historic region of Fife is rightly recognised as the beating heartbeat of the game of golf, and it provides a superb setting for a golfing tour that will never be forgotten. Walking in the footsteps of the great and good is a must for all lovers of the sport’s heritage, and you can do just that when you savour the most iconic 18 holes of golf to be found anywhere on the planet.
Here is where you’ll find the most famous track of them all, the Old Course at St Andrews. There’s so much to take in when you play here, from the sumptuous old clubhouse and the views of the sea to the deceptive large greens and the forever undulating fairways. Picture yourself and your friends posing for a photo on the instantly familiar Swilken Bridge, reflecting on the last few moments of an unforgettable round of golf, one that you’ll all talk about for years to come.
It should be borne in mind as well that St Andrews itself plays host to numerous other courses that are just waiting to be savoured. They include the Castle, the New, the Jubilee and the Eden, all of them worthy of further exploration. A short distance from here you’ll also find the Fairmont Torrance Course with its glorious views of the ocean and the excellent Lundin Golf Club, where you can sample the many delights of traditional Scottish links play.
Just a short drive from St Andrews there’s the highly rated Kingsbarns Golf Links, surely as eye-catchingly beautiful as any course in the world. A regular co-host of the annual Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, it deserves to be right at the top of your wish-list. Add in historic venues like Leven, Ladybank and Elie, and you can see why Fife is such a popular choice with the world’s golfing trippers.
And when you have a little downtime to recover, why not explore everything that the area has to offer? Fife is full of interesting places to visit, including the Scottish Fisheries Museum at Anstruther, the Crail Museum and Heritage Centre and a whole host of popular attractions in St Andrews. You’ll surely want to take in the R&A World Golf Museum, the remains of the Cathedral and the St Andrews Museum. There are several golf stores to explore, too, for those who seek a little retail therapy.
